Report: RG3 struggling to read defenses

The RG3 reclamation project may not be going quite as well as hoped in Cleveland.

Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole reports that Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson is concerned about his team entering the final preseason game. The Browns, 0-3 in the preseason, lost 30-13 to the Bucs last week with quarterback Robert Griffin III going 8-of-14 for 119 yards and a touchdown pass.

Cole says the Browns will have their regulars play in the final preseason game and that there is concern about some regression from Griffin. The Browns apparently believe RG3 needs to get rid of the ball faster and that he still struggles to read defenses.

Griffin will enter the season as the Browns’ starting quarterback after not having taken a snap in the regular season last year in Washington. RG3 was mediocre in both 2013 and 2014.

Griffin, who is going through a divorce, is four years removed from his famed rookie season where he threw for 20 touchdowns and five interceptions while leading Washington to the playoffs.
